Ex-wife

When Zhong Han asked about her husband's ex-wife so bluntly, Xu Ruobei seemed a bit unhappy. but she was too embarrassed to get angry because Zhong Han's words were so polite.

"I haven't had much contact with Xuefeng's ex-wife. Didn't I just say that when I met him, he had already divorced his ex-wife for more than a year?" Xu Ruobei sighed and her face was expressionless, "I haven't dealt with his ex-wife directly. All I can tell you is something that everyone else knows about. Xuefeng told me before that he and his ex-wife were introduced in a blind date and she gave birth to a daughter after marriage. At that time, their financial conditions were not particularly good. Xuefeng is the kind of man who started with nothing. Later, one of them took care of the child full-time at home, and the other worked hard outside. They did not have a common interests, so they broke up amicably and agreed to a divorce. After the divorce, most of Xuefeng's property was divided. I have already mentioned this matter to you. At least that's what Xuefeng told me. I fully trust him, so I didn’t ask others for confirmation.”

"Do you have the contact information of Ren Xuefeng's ex-wife? Or, do you have the contact information of their daughter?" Zhong Han asked again.

Xu Ruobei wanted to shake her head, but realized that realized that this would appear to be lack of cooperation with no sincerity, so she stopped shaking her head abruptly: "I definitely haven't saved it in my mobile phone. If you need it urgently, I can go home and find it out for you"

"Then I'll trouble you!" Zhong Han smiled and nodded to Xu Ruobei, "Do you need us to take you back later? Today is really not a good day for you."

"No, I appreciate your kindness. I can go back by myself. No need to delay your work time. For me, it is more important to find out what happened to my husband and who really killed him." Xu Ruobei used the ring finger of her left hand and gently wiped to wipe away the tears that just came out of the corner of her eyes, stood up, took out a business card from her purse and handed it to Zhong Han, "If there is nothing else, I will go back home first. If there is anything you want me to do, please feel free to call the number above, I'll definitely try my best to cooperate. "

Saying that, her body suddenly swayed, almost unstable, fortunately Gu Xiaofan grabbed her in time.

"Are you really okay?" Gu Xiaofan asked a little worried.

Xu Ruobei shook her head, turned around and walked out. Gu Xiaofan still insisted on sending her downstairs, watched her get in the car and left before returning to the office.

When she came back to the office, she found that Gao Xuan and Tang Hongye had also just returned. When she saw Gao Xuan, before she could speak, Tang Hongye came over with a smile on his face.

"Xiaofan, I heard that you went to the scene today? How do you feel? Tell me about it!" He asked Gu Xiaofan with a smile.

Just looking at Tang Hongye's nervous expression, Gu Xiaofan was 100% sure that the fact that she was dragged to the scene and vomited in the dark must have spread among her colleagues. So she took a sneak peek at Gao Xuan behind Tang Hongye and sneaked a glance at Zhong Han who was rearranging the pen holder at his desk, he complained endlessly.

"Tang Hongye, behave like a gentleman. Xiaofan is a girl, it's normal for her to be timid. When you first encountered a big scene, your calves twitched!" Gao Xuan is a lot more generous than Tang Hongye, taking the initiative to speak up for Gu Xiaofan to relieve the situation.

Gu Xiaofan smiled a little shyly, his cheeks were a little hot.

"By the way, have you finished my work summary? I'll hand it in as soon as I'm free." Gao Xuan saw Gu Xiaofan did not speak, so he reminded her.

"Oh! I almost forgot. wait a minute. I'll see if I should add a few more words at the end, and then I'll print it out for you!" Gu Xiaofan had spent most of the day in a frenzy, almost forgetting about the year-end work summary, and only remembered when Gao Xuan reminded her of it.

She hurriedly returned to her computer and reopened the document, thinking that she could print it out and give it to Gao Xuan after a few touch-ups at the end. But when the document was opened, Gu Xiaofan was dumbfounded. It was almost finished in the morning. But when she looked she saw that everything she did this moring were gone. Gu Xiaofan stared at the screen for a long time and couldn't figure out why this happened.

"Could it be that when you were closing the document, you chose 'No' when it asked to save it?" Tang Hongye asked Gu Xiaofan as he watched from the sidelines, combining his past experience.

Gu Xiaofan tried to remember it. She might have really done it, anyway, this is not the first time this kind of thing happened to her.

The smile on Gao Xuan's face at this moment has gradually disappeared, his brows are slightly frowned, and he seemed a little worried: "Xiao Fan, sometimes you are really careless. What should I do, it will be due tomorrow morning at the latest. Do you still have something to do this afternoon?"

Gu Xiaofan set his sights on Zhong Han who is not too far away from her. Usually the work is always arranged and planned by others, and she strictly implemented it. Since Tang Li gave Zhong Han, a new colleague who just transferred over to team with her, she certainly needs to cooperate with Zhong Han's work plan.

Zhong Han put the last blue ballpoint pen into the barrel from the side where all the black ballpoint pens were, raised his head, and found that Gu Xiaofan was staring at him with questioning eyes. So he nodded to her: "I'm afraid we have to go to Ren Xuefeng's company and factory."

"Oh," Gu Xiaofan looked at Gao Xuan a bit embarrassed, "Then this work summary..."

"There is still a night, no need to rush," Gao Xuan said quickly, as if reassuring her, "It's fine if you can hand it in tomorrow morning. If you really don't have enough energy to do it, I'll take it back and do it again."

"It's okay, just leave to with me," Gu Xiaofan said as she said even more embarrassed, "If I hadn't been sloppy and have saved the files, there wouldn't be so much trouble now. So let me get it right before handing it to you! "

"Okay, if you have any difficulties, call me anytime." Gao Xuan combed his hair with his fingers and nodded to Gu Xiaofan with a smile showing his neat and white teeth.

With a blushing face, Gu Xiaofan took out the USB flash drive from the drawer and saved the half-finished work summary in it so that she could take it home at night, while secretly annoyed at her carelessness. It may be difficult to improve her impression in Gao Xuan's mind again.

Tang Hongye and Gao Xuan didn't stay in the office for long. They went out again after a while. Gu Xiaofan checked the time. She don't need to come back to office once the work is done. So she packed up her things and went over to call Zhong Han.

"Can we go now?" She asked Zhong Han who was thinking about something alone.

Zhong Han lifted his head, did not rush to get up, but gestured at Gu Xiaofan indicating that she should sit down first. So Gu Xiaofan obediently sat next to Zhong Han's desk.

"I've been thinking about a question. Why was the corpse we found, let's say Ren Xuefeng was ***** when it was dug out from the construction site? Even if the person died more than a month ago, the weather was already cold, not only do you have to wear clothes, but I’m afraid you have to wear thick clothes” Zhong Han seemed to be talking to Gu Xiaofan, but also seemed to be talking to himself.

"Could it be that when the murderer attacked him, he didn't have anything on?" Gu Xiaofan just said the first idea popped up in her mind without thinking.

Zhong Han raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Xiaofan. He seemed a little surprised: "I didn't think about it before, your idea is quite serious!"

Gu Xiaofan's face became hot all of a sudden, and she quickly explained: "I forgot that the deceased was beaten and bruised all over his body before he dead. I didn't mean it, don't take it the wrong way!"

Zhong Han smiled and didn't continue to tease her: "I think it's possible that the murderer didn't expect the to be found so soon. After all, when we went to the scene today, we also heard from the workers there that because the contractor ran away with the money, it has been in a state of suspension. Everyone thought it would become an unfinished project. They didn’t know how long it will take to restart. Maybe the murderer thought so too. The weather has already changed. It was getting colder every day, and the murderer didn't have enough understanding of the decay rate of the corpse. So he chose to bury the corpse there and remove the clothes, probably thinking even if the corpse was found, it would be rotten beyond recognition. Because through clothing the person can be easily identified."

"Your idea makes more sense than mine." After listening to Zhong Han's explanation, Gu Xiaofan immediately nodded convincingly.

Zhong Han seemed a little surprised by Gu Xiaofan's easy-to-compromise personality, but did not say anything more and got up to get his jacket: "Ley's go. Xu Ruobei hasn't given us the contact information of Ren Xuefeng's ex-wife and children. So we can't call them to come to the Public Security Bureau to accept dna collection. So let's go to Ren Xuefeng's company first."

Gu Xiaofan nodded. She was already fully dressed and when Zhong Han also put on his coat, she walked outside the office, only to be pulled back by Zhong Han after a few steps.

"You forgot something." Zhong Han stopped Gu Xiaofan, and picked up the USB flash drive she used to save the work summary from her desk just now.

"Oh, thanks to you, otherwise I'd be embarrassed again tonight!" Gu Xiaofan smiled and took the USB flash drive she had forgotten, feeling that she really could not leave a good impression in front of this new colleague.
